The legendary composer helps bring the music of Final Fantasy to live audiences across the globe.

The music of the Final Fantasy series is highly regarded as some of the most sweeping and haunting in all of video games. Now FF fans will have a chance to hear some of their favorite themes from all of the core games with the Distant Worlds concert series, which kicks off this September.

The concert series opens at Royce Hall in Los Angeles, with a concert on September 9 and another one on September 10. Each evening will feature different classic Final Fantasy selections, performed by the Distant Worlds Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Arnie Roth. This LA premiere will mark the very first time that renowned video game composer Nobuo Uematsu will be performing as keyboard soloist. Hironobu Sakaguchi (the creator of the Final Fantasy series) will also be in attendance at the premiere.

His mustache gives him his power.

It's also noteworthy that Nobuo Uematsu and Arnie Roth will be the featured soloists on the FF VI: Dark World theme, with Uematsu on organ and Roth on violin. The concerts will also include performances by special guest Susan Calloway, well known by FF fans for her vocal performances.

Tickets for the Distant Worlds concert range from $58-$85. For $185 you can score yourself a VIP ticket, which includes a rare opportunity to attend a post-show meet, greet and photo opportunity with Uematsu himself. You can get a 15% discount if you purchase tickets for both premiere concerts at the same time.

So save up your pennies, FF fans. This promises to be an epic concert.
